We are all Dreamers in our own way. In her Pura Belpre award-winning book, Dreamers, author and illustrator, Yuyi Morales beautifully writes and illustrates her own dreamer story. The book begins with Yuyi and her son, Kelly as they leave their familiar surroundings to live in a new country. In this new place, they do not understand the language and aren't understood by their new neighbors. Soon, they find an unfamiliar place that leads them to feel a sense of belonging. Dreamers is written in English with Spanish words sprinkled in to show the impact of their journey to their new home. You will want to read Dreamers to see how Yuyi and her son overcome barriers to make them feel welcome in their new country.
